Following a dismal 0-3 road trip that was marred by injury, the Atlanta Hawks returned home to face the Chicago Bulls on Saturday evening. Even on the second night of a back-to-back, the Hawks entered the night with tangible optimism on the injury front, with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter returning to action and 15 (!) healthy players at the start of the game. The first half was ominous for Atlanta, but they put together an impressive finish and toppled the Bulls by a final margin of 108-97.
Chicago enjoyed a promising start, taking a 7-2 lead, but Trae Young got things going for the Hawks, and he enjoyed a very strong opening period.
